About Remy

Experienced performer with incredible, soulful vocals.
Singing guitarist
Newcastle upon Tyne
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Supported the likes of Rag'N'Boneman and The Specials. Remy is an experienced performer with incredible, soulful vocals adding flare to every performance. Fit for all occasions, he is certain to catch the ear of any listener. Whether it be as subtle as a making your foot tap along to the rhythm or an overwhelming urge to get up and dance! No stranger to more mellow, relaxing performances, you may also find yourself lost in a moment of emotion, provoked by the passion woven into his singing and playing. This level of flexibility and experience at Weddings, Parties, Pubs, MainStage Festivals and Private Functions will ensure the performance is a perfect accompaniment/main feature for the event in question. Beginning his musical journey in the Summer of 2018, he has already racked up a strong list of musical achievements. From supporting the likes of Rag'N'Boneman and The Specials to gaining BBC Introducing attention and winning multiple local competitions based in his hometown, Nottingham. After spending a good proportion of his youth working his way through his parents record collections, he is certainly well-versed in the golden years of music! However, it goes without saying he also knows a lot of the more recent hits. Genres including Jazz, Soul, Motown, Disco, Pop, Rock, Country and Singer/Songwriter from the 50s up to present day are all part of his repertoire. Requests are certainly encouraged!

Remy played at my cousins wedding, and he was an absolute gem. He set the mood wonderfully and sounded amazing. Every song was a hit, and it was the perfect interlude to the morning ceremony and the evening party.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I think what my clients enjoy most is my wide range of repertoire! This, alongside my vocal abilities and easy going nature at their events. I am there to embellish your event and make it a little bit more special so there's no room for stressing or worrying!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

In and around Newcastle and Nottingham (where I'm from). Countless Wedding venues across the country, and even a few venues in France!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I've always has a tendency to lean towards great singers and songwriters! So from the talents of Stevie Wonder and John Mayer, to the likes of Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Splendour Festival 2019 I got the chance to play the same stage as Rag'N'Boneman and The Specials. I'm excited for the day I top that :)

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Just let me know as soon as possible and more than likely it'll be absolutely fine.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Of course, this is a very popular request and I charge £50 for music in between sets. If you want music after or before hand then I charge an hourly rate of £35.

How much time do you need to set up?

Roughly 30 minutes.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time based on what's appropriate. However, I'm more than happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
